#Journey Hawke

[sulky-valkyrie]

Happy Friday! Maybe some Hawke & alistair being sassy friends (or more, w/e floats your goat) with ❛you’re lucky you’re cute.❜

Happy Fridayyyyyyyyyyy Kia!!!! Have a bit of sassy not-quite friends in a Modern AU slice of life moment set in the Sparkleverse.

for @dadrunkwriting

The woman had walked past Alistair so fast that he’d barely had time to stand, then barged right into the Commander’s office like she belonged here.

"Serah, he's in —"

By the time he made it to the door, it was swinging shut in his face. He reached for the knob, but a static spark zapped his fingers as the little "do not disturb" light blinked on next it. Okaaaay, then.

He went back to his chair and stared at the phone on his desk, waiting for the panic alarm to go off. It didn't. No one shouted, and when he got up to peek down the hall, everything seemed fine that way too.

He sat back down again, then got up to to press his ear to the door, straining to hear anything while pushing the guilt down for eavesdropping. I'm just making sure he's safe.

The paranoia of being caught forced him back to his seat a third time, where he drummed his fingers on the desk restlessly.

After a few uneasy minutes (long enough to choke a man, his brain supplied unhelpfully), she walked back out while absently juggling a key one-handed . The Acting Commander was still in his chair, still working, and looked irritated, but unharmed.

“You’re lucky you're cute.”

She stopped and turned. “Oh?”

Shit, I said that out loud. He shuffled his papers around an cleared his throat. It was true, of course: she was incredibly cute. Built like an athlete, short dark hair, and hazel eyes that flashed with sharp humor, like she was already laughing inside at a joke no one else had seen yet.

But saying it out loud was incredibly in poor taste. Especially when she’d just waltzed into the Commander’s office without an appointment or an escort or anything. Who in the void had that kind of clearance?

“Sorry, I was talking to… um. My dog.”

She cocked her head and leaned against the wall, twirling the key on her thumb. “Your dog.”

He offered a panicked grin and tried to talk his way out of the situation he’d talked himself into. “Well, it’s not my dog, it’s my friend’s dog.” Fuck, fuck, fuck, who has a dog — Liss! He fumbled with his cellphone to find the last picture she’s posted. “Best dog I ever met, but an absolute terrorist when he’s bored.”

She moved closer to sit on the edge of the desk. “And you were talking him,” she repeated, playing along and not believing a word he said. “Just now.”

“Errrrr, a picture of him, yes,” Alistair lied. “Because he’s lucky he’s—”

“Cute, right.” The key continued to spin on her finger, and they were such lovely fingers too, so lovely it took three revolutions before he saw what key it was. It had a custom designed head that he’d only seen once before: a red hawk with flared wings.

“Where’d you get that?” he asked.

She grinned and jerked her thumb back toward the Commander's office. "Ask him. Now, about this dog? This very cute dog you were talking to?" She fluttered her eyes. "Can I see him?"

The jig was up. He slid the phone to her wordlessly with a photo of Weisschnauzer on the screen. He was not, in fact, a cute dog. He was an unholy combination of wiry long hair that stuck out at all angles, jagged teeth that protruded around his lips, a tongue too long for his mouth, mismatched ears (one of which was always inside out), and had only three legs.

"Hm." She slid off the desk. "Tell Liss I said hi."

"What?" he asked, the shook his head and grabbed her wrist. "No, I don't even know you are, and that's the Acting Commander’s car keys, you can't just -"

The intercom crackled to life. "At ease, Recruit."

Alistair let go of her like he'd been burned. "Sir, she's got your -"

"I am all too aware of what she possesses, and what she can do it it."

She ruffled his hair, the hopped off the desk. “You’re lucky you’re cute. See you around, Al.”

I come screaming into your house, me hands full of lemons🍋: unrelated, but does Journey have a comfort set of clothes they wear when the sads go brr? Or is there a favorite snack they munch on when stressed??

She doesn't so much stress munch as much as just stress-consume lethal quantities of black coffee and cigarettes. Her clothes also pretty much stay consistent, she has like a handful of undershirts, flannels, and cargo pants, and she just mixes and matches at random. When the sads get real bad she steals Anders' hoodie.

depicting byleth as oblivious is funny and all but it's also a bit of a disservice to their character as if they didn't immediately clock the three lords, read em like an open book within the first 15 minutes of knowing them

[quitealotofsodapop]

The Monkey King / Sun Wukong, but he's in the same celebrity purgatory that Tony Hawk / Perry the Platypus is in. Like, there's def a population of demons/yaogaui in Megapolis big enough that people don't really care that much when they appear.

SWK: *shows up to a fight* Villain of the Week: "A monkey yao?" SWK: *tiredly puts on a fake circlet* Villain of the Week: "THE MONKEY KING, THE GREAT SAGE EQUAL TO HEAVEN!?"

And when he's doing completely normal mortal-esque stuff, he gets recognised by the most unimpressed people.

Pigsy: "Hey, are you the Monkey King?" SWK, picking up some food: "Yeah." Pigsy: "Why tho?" SWK: *unable to form a response*

This is why The Monkey King has an active copyright and brand in Megapolis (as referenced in "Sweet 'n Sour"), but no one is really sure if he's still around. His stage fright and hatred of crowds is so bad that he rarely makes public appearances.

Hello fellow WC artist. Have you done my boy Hawksnow yet? He's one of my favorite little scrunkles.

Here u go!!!

[trickerys-domain]

I was tagged by @contrivedcoincidences6 to make my OCs this picrew!! Thank you for tagging me, I finally got it done lol!!!

Iseya Tabris: A headstrong and compassionate duelist/assassin rogue. Blunt, and sometimes vengeful, to those who show corruption, incompetence, or cross her; but endlessly kind to those in need. Absolutely did not want to get married, but always wore Nelaros's ring to honor his sacrifice and as a reminder (yes, I did full ass sacrifice a whole item spot for this in game the whole game). Iseya thought she would always sacrifice anything for her family and people, including her found family and her lover Alistair. She was prepared to die to stop the blight, and would have if not for Morrigan's offer.

*Hilariously I named my Warden years prior to the release of The Last Flight novel, but it really added a great element to her character.

Marian Hawke: A two-handy Reaver Purple Hawke who loves her family especially her sister. Even Gamlen grows on her after the death of her monther as she finally is worn down enough to see him better. Marian starts off as a confident sassy jokster who tries her best to make a new life, but as the years go on and she loses and lose and loses, her jokes become a coping mechanism. A mean streak also appears. By the end she's so tired and depressed that she doesn't even notice Anders pulling away from her. She spares and stands by him anyway because she needs this one thing to stay in her life.

*I just really like the default Hawke Names, I think they fit Hawke really well.

Shiren'ne Lavellen: A compassionate, kind, yet firm and decisive person, Shiren'ne prepared her whole life to become a worthy Keeper for her clan. Yet after she ends up with a new calling she takes it with stride, understanding her role in the world is now beyond just her people, but she always rebuffs being sent by Andraste and stands by her gods. Shiren'ne's favourite thing about the Inquisition was getting to know everyone and learn so much about other cultures and customs, and was always happy to share and demonstrate her Dalish culture (within reason). And although she had been so ready to be Keeper and she is Dalish to her core, after everything she knew she could never return and instead found a new quiet life with Cullen. Shiren'ne prefers slower ritual and practical magics and leans towards old nature and healing (I wish spirit healer had been a subclass), but is eager to learn about the fade, spirits, and the journey of ones soul after death, showing this by choosing vallaslin for Falon'Din.

*Took some research, but her name essentially means Voice of the Journey. She chose the name herself for her Valleslin ceremony as part of accepting and stepping into her role as First.

No pressure tag to @wolfwhisperertf, @the-nameless-nerd, and anyone else who wants to ❤️

[semiweirdshipper]

Hello, I have been following your work for a long time, and every time I read your fan fiction with a sinking heart. The way you convey emotions, feelings, character of the characters is just perfect! And I have read your "My Saddest Journey" more than five times.

I would like to ask, if it's not difficult for you, to write some Headcannons on this fan fiction.

I'm not insisting, sorry in advance for the trouble, I'm just a little in love ❤️

Hi murmiss. I would like to say, first, that I am sorry for denying your request in the beginning. "My Saddest Journey" is a very sensitive topic for me and when I'm asked about it I tend to get emotional. But! I decided to go ahead and provide you with some headcanons. I hope they satisfy you.

...

First: How do Frank, Ji-woon and Danny feel after everything that happened?

Well they all feel differently. Ji-woon is mostly in the fog and doesn't think much about it. Frank is pouty and very grudgemental towards the reader for a number of reasons, and he may stand to cause some unfortunate trouble in the future. As for Danny- oh, Danny. After seeing how bad the reader has it- and after having a private, sneaky conversation with them- he develops an attraction towards them, a desire to protect them and claim them as his own. But too bad! The reader doesn't like him. Can he fix that though? We'll see.

...

How does papa Evan feel?

After seeing just how bad the reader is effected, Evan asks Freddy to share what memories of theirs he witnessed, and he realizes a few things. (Plus Herman gave him a very lengthy lecture about how he would wrestle him if he was mean to the reader again). Evan will want to right his wrongs and get to know the reader better.

But do you know how difficult that will be? The reader does not trust him at all. In fact they're so scared to go around him that they more or less entice the Dredge to show up thus causing more bad memories and chaos. Evan is going to have to approach this reader as if they were an abused cat. (Gentle Evan is the best Evan). Once he can get them to talk and share their similarities, there will be fluff and comfort.

...

The reader opens up faster to the father figures than they do the love interests. This is meant to be practical and funny, but also an indicator of their trauma. Let's use Herman for example because he's head over heels for the reader, and he really is trying his hardest to charm them, but all he gets is polite, cold shoulders in response. And then there's Evan and all he has to do is pat their head and they instantly melt into his arms. Screw you Evan! Kidding, we love our papa bear.

...

The introduction of Wesker. This will happen much later on but it will be big. Not only will we get to see a completely different side of the reader, but so will Wesker who pretty much gets his arse beat during a trial with them. He's obviously interested after that and wants to learn more about them. The reader picks up on his naughty energy and politely tells him off, but Wesker relents until the reader more or less snaps and humiliates him. "Look, I don't find you attractive, ok? Now please leave me alone. You are making me uncomfortable."

Sucks to be you, Wesker. Can you see Herman smirking in the background? Oh yes you can. Don't worry though, he's not finished. Wesker always gets what he wants. Right?

...

Micheal being an overprotective, possessive goof. After learning just how sweet, modest and caring this reader is, he can't help but to stake his claim. "Go away. This is MY traumatized hooman. Get your own." Oh Michael... But Michael's kindness and gentility will help the reader relax and open up in many ways.

...

Ok, this headcanon is one I'm not quite sure if I'll use or not, but I thought it was funny so I'll go ahead and share. It's called the "lift" experiment. Basically the killers want to see if carrying the sad survivors will keep the Dredge away. For example, Michael holding the reader bridal style in his arms for an hour.

This idea is meant to be purely silly, but it could also help the reader open up to touch. Like a trust exercise. I was going to use the biggest boys for it, and some of them fight over who can carry the reader because the reader is modest, quiet and sweet and won't cause them trouble. Who will get to them first, you know? Lol, it's just a silly thought. You guys can tell me if it's worth writing.

...

Then we have Jeffrey and Caleb who will be the group that the reader is officially placed in next. And those two will be the ultimate father figures. Lots and lots and lots of fluff. Jeffrey also knows which other killers' like the reader romantically and purposely makes them jealous by openly cuddling the reader in public or giving them kisses on their forehead and stuff like that. Let's not forget how insanely protective these two killers are. Eeeek! I can't wait to write them, but it's honestly going to be a while and I'm very slow updating that story.

...

There's some headcanons. I hope you enjoyed. Again I apologize for being sensitive. I hope you're doing well and have an amazing day ❤️

More SMT protagonists teams

Venasaur-I just think they vibe

Houndoom-Cerberus stand-in, fire dog

Armarouge-A reference to his weapon usage with guns and Hino Kagasuchi combined

Sylveon-A reference to my mystery dungeon au

Tauros-A strong normal type for the time

Aerodactly-An ancient Pokémon brought back in the modern day like how he was originally an ancient human (Adam) was brought back through reincarnation

Feraligator-No thoughts head empty

Iron Valiant-A stand in for the robot-like angels in the franchise. Was made to be a weapon like him.

Skarmory-A great continuous source of material for weapons and has great utility

Falinks-I think they look like little gladiators

Weevile-A strong competitive Pokémon he would appreciate

Silvally-Also artificially created to fight

His team is military themed.

Blastoise-BIG GUN, would ride in on its Gigantamax with his Pokémon

Archuladon-Rail gun

Scoliopede-Sets hazards and traps for the enemies which soldiers tend to do

Rotom-Stand in for Arthur or his Demonica AI

Cyclizar-Quick transportation and utility

Genesect-The secret weapon of the Strike Team which he would unleash

One trend I didn’t notice until thinking about it is that the legendaries I gave for the protagonists (if I gave them one) were the minor ones.

New Moon Totem Animals

Photo of the owl by Agto Nugroho on Unsplash

Roughly all nocturnal and watery creatures can be symbolically linked to the Moon in one way or another. But some totem animals reach their highest power precisely during the New Moon.

If your animal is one of those, New Moon may be the most resourceful time for you too, no matter how exactly you prefer to work with animal symbolism and spirits.

Here’s the list of "typical" New Moon Totem Animals.

FLICKER

Flickers are known for their drilling behavior. They make holes in trees to extract food. During the New Moon phase, flicker’s energy can encourage us to persevere in our endeavors and to remain focused on our objectives.

In search of food, these birds also tap and drum. It connects them to new rhythms coming into our life with a new moon cycle. Flickers even have a black crescent pattern over their breast area. The black color of the moon reflects the New Moon phase and ability to experience emotions more intensely.

Keywords: initiation, renewal, persistence, new rhythms.

HAWK

To the Ojibwa, the red-tailed hawk represented leadership, deliberation, and foresight. Just as hawks soar high above the earth, gaining a broader perspective on their surroundings, they inspire us to rise above our own limitations and see the bigger picture of our lives and goals. They remind us to trust our instincts and intuition as we set new intentions during the New Moon phase.

Keywords: intuition, insight, vision.

OWL

Owl is the bird of magic, darkness, prophecy, and wisdom. It is associated with «dark» feminine energies, Lilith, the first wife of Adam who refused to submit to him, and goddess Athena. In some belief systems, owls are seen not as evil incarnates, but as wise and knowledgeable beings. Much like the symbolism of the New Moon, which is a time for introspection, reflection, restrategizing and accessing inner wisdom.

Keywords: mystery, omens, wisdom, intuition, transition, renewal.

PANTHER

According to Amazon legends, the roar of the jaguar is the roar of thunder, and the black panther is the god of darkness who can cause eclipses by swallowing the sun. Panthers are associated with the New Moon phase due to their nocturnal nature and their ability to move through the darkness with grace and precision. They are often seen as mysterious and elusive creatures, much like subconscious mind. Panthers symbolize the ability to dive into the depths of the psyche and uncover hidden truths.

Keywords: renewal, intuition, transformation, the mysteries of the unseen world.

TIGER

In the Hindu tradition, the tiger was sacred to the goddess Kali, which is also connected to the New Moon. Mighty and resilient, tigers symbolize inner power and the ability to overcome challenges. New Moon is a time for turning inward, tapping into inner resources, and renewing one’s strength. Tigers are excellent swimmers, unlike other large cats, which connects them to water and moon even more. In China, the tiger is both a symbol of darkness and the new moon, as well as brightness and the full moon.

Keywords: inner strength, passion, power, devotion, sensuality.

SPIDER

Photo by Dirk Ribbler on Unsplash

Spiders are associated with the cycle of creation, destruction, and rebirth. They are constantly building and weaving new webs, which is also a lunar cycle symbol. The act of weaving also symbolizes creation and manifestation of dreams and desires. Spiders are patient and persistent in building their webs. They encourage us to be patient as we plant the seeds of our intentions and persist in our efforts towards our goals, even when progress may seem slow or uncertain.

Keywords: creation, transformation, patience, intuition.

OYSTER

Photo by Marcus Lange on Unsplash

Oysters reside in the ocean, which has a deep archetypal connection to intuition and the subconscious mind. These molluscs hold the potential to create a pearl. New Moon phase as well symbolises hidden potential and possibilities waiting to be discovered. Oysters are also constantly filtering water, which brings up the idea of New Moon cleansing rituals and «letting go» practices.

Keywords: hidden potential, the cyclical nature of life, renewal.

You used to be nice.. Hawkwing/Darktail

[shivered-bones]

made a silly post about the hawke siblings and now i just:

dragon age 2 but all hawke siblings survived. dragon age 2 but hawke is paralysed from the waist down after saving carver. dragon age 2 but the three of them form an anomalous person called hawke haunting kirkwall's streets, with the twins as the face and hawke as the brutal brains. bethany and carver being badasses while hawke carries the weight of the hard decisions, the three of them together trying to forge a life for them and their mother.
